Indeed, NOTHING. If black people HAD done something, you would have posted it, rather than posting a picture of the million man march which had nothing to do with black on black violence. Thank you for demonstrating how little you guys have done to stop violence in your communities.
So what was the million man march about then dummy? lol
From Wikipedia...
One of the primary motivating factors for the march was to place black issues back on the nation’s political agenda. In the aftermath of the Republican Party’s victory in the 1994 Congressional election and the continued success of the party’s campaign platform, the Contract with America, some African American leaders felt the social and economic issues facing the black community fell by the wayside of policy debates.[7] March organizers believed that politicians were failing the black community by “papering over the most vital dimensions of the crisis in international capitalism”[7] and blaming urban blacks for “domestic economic woes that threatened to produce record deficits, massive unemployment, and uncontrolled inflation.”[8]
At the time of the march, African Americans faced unemployment rates nearly twice that of white Americans, a poverty rate of more than 40%, and a median family income that was about 58% of the median for white households. More than 11% of all black males were unemployed and for those aged 16 to 19, the number of unemployed had climbed to over 50%[8] Further, according to Reverend Jesse Jackson’s speech at the March, the United States House of Representatives had reduced funding to some of the programs that played an integral role in urban Americans’ lives. “The House of Representatives cut $1.1 billion from the nation’s poorest public schools,” and “cut $137 million from Head Start” effectively subtracting $5,000 from each classroom’s budget and cutting 45,000 preschoolers from a crucial early education program.[9]
Environmental hazards were also seen as making the lives of urban blacks unstable. Black men were murdered at a rate of 72 per 100,000, a rate significantly higher than the 9.3 per 100,000 attributed to the white male population.[8] Some black activists blamed aggressive law enforcement and prison construction for leaving “two hundred thousand more blacks in the jail complex than in college”[10] and devastating leadership gaps within black communities and families.[8] Event organizers were further infuriated by a perceived gap in prenatal care for black women and children caused, in part, by the closing of inner-city hospitals.[10] Event organizers were of the view that urban Blacks were born with “three strikes against them”:[10] insufficient prenatal care, inferior educational opportunities, and jobless parents.[10] Instead of providing young children with the means to succeed, they believed the government instead intervened in the lives of its black citizens through law enforcement and welfare programs that did little to improve the community’s circumstances
Nope, not one thing about black on black violence. Just finger pointing at everyone else for their problems.
From Wiki
The march took place within the context of a larger
grassroots movement that set out to win politicians’ attention for urban and minority issues through widespread
voter registration campaigns.
[2] A parallel event called the
Day of Absence, organized by female leaders in conjunction with the March leadership, occurred on the same date, and was intended to engage the large population of black Americans who would not be able to attend the demonstration in Washington.
On this date, all blacks were encouraged to stay home from their usual school, work, and social engagements, in favor of attending teach-ins, andworship services, focusing on the struggle for a healthy and self-sufficient black community. Further, organizers of the Day of Absence hoped to use the occasion to make great headway on their voter registration drive.
